Summary: In a world where first contact was made in the early sixties, the lone survivor of Earth’s first meeting with an Extra Terrestrial has been raised a virtual celebrity. The appeal of his good looks and easy charm hold no sway for Charlie Gardotte. While his family’s obsession with the alien hero was nothing unique, the neglect caused by this was. Charlie wanted no part of this cultish fascination, going so far as to cut all ties with anyone who tries to change his opinion.

Not every story has a romantic beginning. When Charlie met Harrison, it wasn’t some grand cosmic alignment; bells and thunder never resounded. There was just something about the man’s disheveled appearance that made everything in this moment feel real. He never questioned his luck; it never occurred to him to think it might be fate or some such nonsense. He was just Charlie, and Harrison, well…

Review: It's a well written story and as I love aliens and human/alien relationship it was almost like made for me. The relationship between the main characters in a world of chaos is so captivating. I really like this story and it's updated regularly.
